Smoke One/Magnolia Slim (Trigga Man-era bounce)

About This Sample

Magnolia Shorty was a foundational New Orleans bounce MC from the Magnolia Projects, signed to Cash Money in the late 1990s. Her tracks rode the city's signature Triggerman/Brown Beat drum patterns — the same DNA that powers every NOLA bounce record. For 'In My Feelings' (2018), producers TrapMoneyBenny and BlaqNmilD looped Shorty's call-and-response vocal cadence and stacked it under a chopped Lil Wayne 'Tha Block Is Hot' interpolation and a City Girls 'Pull Up N Wreck' refrain. The result is a layered NOLA tribute: three generations of the city's rap lineage colliding on one beat. The song spawned the Shiggy 'Kiki' challenge and became Drake's seventh number-one single in summer 2018.
